The Museum comes to Us!

Friday finger painting!

Our author study of Jan Brett is in full swing! Today we read The Hat and then made these little hedgies with hats! Did you know Jan Brett owns a hedgehog and she tries to put one in every one of her books?

Biomes

Sorry for lack of posts in December! I'm trying to catch up this week! Here's an awesome day we had where we got to see 5th Grades projects on Biomes. It was so fun (and educational) to hear them explain the climate, animals, landforms, etc. then share more info on the iPads.

 

 Here was the REAL highlight of our trip...going upstairs! Where we can see down into the LIBRARY! A-maz-ing!

PJ's

We had way too much fun today in our PJ's!! We are still receiving some last minute donations and I can't WAIT to share the total number of donations. It warms my heart knowing we have one of the generous and caring school and families.

Veteran's Day

2 by 2

For all of you native Texans out there, you are probably familiar with Bluebonnet Book Awards. The Texas Library Association ALSO has a list of picture books, too! Our FAB librarian has ordered them for our school library and I wasted no time at all introducing them to K1! We read this book, Perfect Square and then created our own "square idea". I gave them each a square and (the surprisingly) tricky part was that they had to use the WHOLE square. Nothing could go to waste :) Check out their creative designs and the list of  Texas 2x2 List!

 

Frog Jump Letters

 

We love rocking out and learning about Frog Jump Letters! When we watch this video we also "sky write" our letters with them! ENJOY!
